Papoose Creek Lodge

An environmentally minded lodge on the Madison

For most hardcore anglers, all they'd need to know about Papoose Creek Lodge is that it sits at the epicenter of Montana's upper Madison Valley fly-fishing country. The Madison literally lies across the street, with Hebgen and Quake lakes a short drive away, the boundary of Yellowstone Park itself a mere 40 miles away, and the fine stretches of the river near Ennis also within easy striking distance. In addition, Papoose Creek's guides are also more than willing to take you to the Gallatin, the Henry's Fork, the Yellowstone River or any number of high-country lakes.
